What Coverage and Financing is at Risk Under a Repeal of the ACA Medicaid Expansion?

As discussion about repeal of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) unfolds, questions emerge about how a repeal may affect Medicaid. The specific effects would depend on many factors that are currently unknown, including whether there is a replacement for the ACA, what happens to federal Medicaid expansion funding, and whether broader changes to the underlying financing structure of the Medicaid program are made.

**How the Affordable Care Act Helps Seniors.**
The ACA provides new ways to help hospitals, doctors and other health care providers coordinate care for beneficiaries so that health care quality is improved and unnecessary spending reduced. Improvements made in the ACA to Medicare preventive services and prescription drug coverage have lowered the out-of-pocket costs of millions of seniors.
**Health care will suffer if judge’s ACA rule stands.**
Though the Affordable Care Act has so far withstood Trump administration sabotage and two Supreme Court challenges, the health care system goes through unnecessary shocks every time the law is threatened — and everyday people (especially older Americans) must live in constant fear of losing coverage.

Analysis of the CBO's Estimate of the AHCA/Trumpcare

The AHCA would benefit wealthy households and insurance and drug companies at the expense of low and moderate-income individuals who would be harmed by radical cuts to Medicaid and much reduced premium tax credits to purchase health care in the Affordable Care Act’s marketplaces.

According to CBO/JCT projections, over the next decade, 23 million people will lose health insurance under the proposed legislation compared to current law. CBO/JCT project that losses will occur due to the proposal’s repeal of the Medicaid expansion, restructuring of the Medicaid program into per capita caps, changes to the Affordable Care Act’s (ACA) individual market reforms, and repeal of the individual mandate. Seniors and near retirees would make up the largest demographic group to lose health care coverage under the AHCA.
